Ingredients Notes

The magic of this Peach Cobbler Cheesecake starts with high-quality, simple ingredients that work together to create a showstopping dessert.

Graham crackers and butter form the perfect crust. Crushing graham crackers into fine crumbs and mixing them with melted butter results in a crunchy, buttery base that holds everything together. A touch of sugar enhances the sweetness.

Cream cheese is the star of the cheesecake layer. Use full-fat, room-temperature cream cheese for the best texture. It creates that ultra-smooth and rich consistency that makes cheesecake irresistible.

Fresh peaches bring natural sweetness and juiciness to the cobbler topping. If fresh peaches aren’t in season, canned peaches in juice (not syrup) can work as a substitute, but fresh will always yield the best flavor.

Cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar add warmth and depth to the peach topping. These classic spices enhance the fruit’s natural flavors, making the topping taste just like a homemade peach cobbler.

Eggs and sour cream help create a luscious, creamy cheesecake filling. The eggs provide structure, while sour cream adds a slight tang that balances the sweetness perfectly.

You'll also need a springform pan to achieve that perfect cheesecake shape. A water bath helps prevent cracks and keeps the cheesecake moist while baking.

How To Make This Peach Cobbler Cheesecake

Making this indulgent dessert is easier than you think! Let’s go step by step so you can create the perfect Peach Cobbler Cheesecake.

Start by preparing your crust. Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs, mix with melted butter and a little sugar, then press firmly into the bottom of a springform pan. Bake it for about 10 minutes to set the crust.

Next, whip up the cheesecake filling. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth, then add sugar, sour cream, vanilla, and a touch of flour for stability. One at a time, add the eggs, beating on low speed to avoid incorporating too much air. Pour the batter over the cooled crust and smooth the top.

Prepare the peach cobbler topping while the cheesecake bakes. Slice fresh peaches and toss them with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a little cornstarch to thicken the juices. Cook over medium heat until the peaches are tender and syrupy.

Once the cheesecake has cooled slightly, spoon the peach mixture over the top, allowing the juices to drizzle down the sides. For an extra touch of crunch, sprinkle a crumble topping made from flour, sugar, butter, and cinnamon over the peaches before returning it to the oven for a brief bake.

Let the cheesecake cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight). This ensures the flavors meld together beautifully and the texture firms up perfectly.

Storage Options

This Peach Cobbler Cheesecake stores beautifully, making it a great make-ahead dessert. Here’s how to keep it fresh:

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The flavors actually deepen over time, making it even better on day two or three.

For longer storage, freeze individual slices wrapped in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. When ready to enjoy, thaw overnight in the refrigerator for the best texture.

To reheat a slice, pop it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to warm the cobbler topping slightly, but be careful not to overheat the cheesecake layer.

Variations and Substitutions

One of the best things about this recipe is how versatile it is. Here are a few ways to customize it to your taste:

Swap out the peaches for another fruit. Try apples in the fall, or use mixed berries for a summer twist. The cobbler topping adapts well to different flavors.

Make it gluten-free by using gluten-free graham crackers for the crust and a gluten-free flour blend in the crumble topping.

Add a drizzle of caramel sauce over the finished cheesecake for an extra indulgent touch. The buttery richness of caramel pairs beautifully with the spiced peaches.

For a boozy twist, macerate the peaches in a splash of bourbon or rum before cooking them down. The hint of alcohol adds depth and complexity to the flavors.

If you’re short on time, use a store-bought graham cracker crust and pre-made peach pie filling. While homemade is best, this shortcut still delivers delicious results.

Experimenting with different flavors and textures can make this recipe your own. No matter how you customize it, the result will always be a stunning, mouthwatering dessert.

With its creamy cheesecake base, buttery crust, and warm peach cobbler topping, this Peach Cobbler Cheesecake is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Serve it at your next gathering and watch it disappear slice by slice!
